Springfield Armory M1A 5rd Magazine 6.5 Creedmoor/308 Win/7.62 NATO

The Springfield Armory MA5018 M1A magazine delivers reliable feeding for precision shooting and tactical applications. This 5-round magazine accepts multiple calibers including 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and 7.62x51mm NATO, providing versatility for different shooting disciplines.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard capacity magazines that can create feeding issues under stress, this 5-round design prioritizes consistent cartridge presentation and reduces overall weight. The blued steel construction offers superior durability compared to polymer alternatives while maintaining the precise tolerances required for match-grade accuracy. Springfield Armory engineers this magazine specifically for M1A platform compatibility, ensuring proper lockup and ejection timing.

Key Features

• 5-round capacity optimized for precision shooting and hunting applications
• Multi-caliber compatibility: 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, 7.62x51mm NATO
• Blued steel construction resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability
• Springfield Armory OEM specifications ensure perfect M1A platform fit
• Heat-treated steel follower provides smooth cartridge feeding
• Witness holes allow quick visual ammunition count verification

Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding across all three supported calibers, with particular reliability in adverse weather conditions.

The steel construction maintains spring tension even after thousands of loading cycles, ensuring reliable function when accuracy matters most.
